When more and more vehicles formed a metal cemetery blocking the way, the Rhino team could only continue to take a detour. They were originally able to enter Saluda at noon, but in order to bypass this area, Marin and his team finally had to go around at night.

Only then did we see the city of Saluda in the distance.

"I feel the earth is crying."

As Maya spoke, she stood up and looked around at the legendary shaman in the wilderness and closed her eyes.

In an instant, Marin felt that time seemed to have stopped, the Rhino's running stopped, and then the whole world.

Then, one ghost after another appeared in the world, and they formed a crowd, walking on the land from the north, but turning a blind eye to the entire rhinoceros team.

Marin heard Maya sigh, and the girl in front of him opened her arms. At this moment, the disk-like moon jumped out from the distant horizon.

The ghosts stopped in unison, turned their heads to look at the full moon, and then started howling in unison.

What are they cursing?

Marin heard the meaning of their howls, and also noticed that the soul fire in their eye sockets was turning red uncontrollably.

Just when Marin was about to purify the land, tree buds rose from the ground, and the buds bloomed and grew on the branches. Finally, a small bell with a handle fell into Maya's hand.

Maya gently shook the bell in her hand. It was obviously a wooden bell, but it made an extremely long golden sound. Sound waves visible to the naked eye spread from the bell to the world.

The ghosts were defeated by this holy energy wave the moment they came into contact with the sound waves. Their ghost bodies were ignited by the flames of positive energy and then turned into fly ash.

Time began to flow again. Marin reached out to support Maya, who was a little weak. The leader of the rhinoceros team, under Marin's comfort, restrained its group members with a long roar and continued to move forward.

Everyone on the back of the rhinoceros looked at the scene in front of them - the ghosts who suddenly appeared in the wilderness were kneeling down. They lowered their heads and prayed, and then sacred flames were ignited from their bodies until they were finally carried away by the wind.

"My Lord is merciful!" Honor quickly turned to look at Maya - he is the Lord of Justice's knight chief, and has the most sensitive sensitivity to the props of the twigs of the World Tree, so when he saw the magic weapon in Maya's hand,

When the wooden bell jingled, he instinctively praised it.

Marin didn't blame him, and Honor didn't know that this was actually the help and gift given to Maya by the two earth goddesses who performed their duties in place of the Harvest Goddess.

And Maya did not let them down. Although Maya was not profound in the teachings, she did not have such superficial formalities.

But what she did should please the two mother goddesses, because Marin felt that the breath of his lover in his arms was becoming stronger.

The rhinoceros team passed through the world of fly ash and re-entered the ancient highway. When passing the Indian statue, Salis, who was standing on the fingers of the stone giant with his left hand pointing south, let out a cry, and it flew towards

He stood on Marin's shoulders.

When the rhinoceros team entered the door opened by Saluda, the elves standing at the door saluted Maya in fear - they watched all this happening on the city wall, originally thinking that the ghosts who appeared prematurely would give this team who came from afar a gift.

The adventure team suffered heavy losses, but in the next second, these ghosts who had put pressure on them every night, and the ghosts of the demons outside Saluda City were directly purified.

Marin patted his riding rhinoceros, and the big psychic guy squatted down. Marin jumped down, and then reached out to support Maya. The little leopard girl in his eyes smiled and got off the mount.

"Salute to you, the legend of the Great Woodland, you must be Mrs. Maya." Saluda's garrison officer stood in front of Maya. The female elf stretched out her hand, held up Maya's hand, and then touched it with her forehead:

"You have allowed these sad souls who mourn all night to have a true eternal sleep. Both they and we will be grateful for everything you have done."

"I heard their cries, I just wanted to help them." Maya didn't seem to think she had done anything great. She smiled, a little shy.

Golden Oak Leaf came over at this time. He drove away the curious elves for Marin, and then repeated the actions of the female elf just now.

"I thought your husband was already very great, but I still underestimated you, madam. Admitting my mistakes to you is what a gentleman should do." After the ambassador finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to follow him to the morning.

There is a ready seating area.

………………

The buildings in Saluda are better preserved than those in Yorktown. The tallest building in the camp where Mr. Ambassador took everyone to stay is, like Yorktown, already electrified. The electric driving circle protects the camp from being destroyed every night.

Ghost invasion, of course, for a long time to come, due to purification, there will be a lot less ghosts in this area.

Maya was surrounded by a group of young mages and magicians. These guys asked Maya endlessly, and some bold guys took the bells lent to them by Maya, but no one could shake such a sacred tone.

After all, this is a bell transformed from a twig of the World Tree. It is a truly sacred instrument. Although it cannot be as varied as the twigs of the World Tree in Marin's hands, owning it itself has allowed Maya to gain recognition and respect from the Just Church.

——This can be seen from the way Emil and Conseil saluted Maya.

They all believed that Maya had gained the approval of the Lord of Justice.

Marin thought at first that Maya knew who gave her the branch, but soon discovered that the girl really didn't know. This discovery made Marin complain in his heart, but the Mother Goddess of the Earth and the Lord of Justice are husband and wife after all.

They did not want to point out these fallacies, and even whispered to Marin to stop talking.

So Marin chose to eat meat - barbecue finally appeared in Saluda's dinner, which should be a communication between elves. That night in Yorktown, everyone threw aside the vegetarian food prepared by the elves and followed the horse the whole time.

Lin eats barbecue.

But then again, the Elf Barbecue was really embarrassment for them. Although looking at these barbeques greatly increased their appetite, Marin ate a piece and wiped his mouth to show that he was full - what kind of barbeque is this? Meat

It's not hard, it's grilled just right, and it tastes good, but it's very chewy. If Marin's teeth weren't unusual, he wouldn't be able to chew the meat.

Just when Marin was complaining about the elves' retarded performance in eating meat, Marin saw Conseil walking towards the barbecue area on the long table. The big cat was attracted by the smell of meat, but he didn't know that he was walking into the abyss.

.Marin pursed his lips and watched as the big cat, who didn't know he was seeking death, picked up a cut steak. He took a bite, chewed a few times, then covered his mouth, and spit it out.

Meat cubes.

With sharp eyes, Marin saw two broken teeth on the flesh.

"Is this meat?" Mr. Conseil's somewhat sad and angry question echoed in the hall.

"Yes, this is meat." The elf waiter who was cutting the meat with an electric chain saw replied.

"I lost my tooth!" Mr. Conseil opened his mouth and pointed at his wound.

"Ah, sir, this is not how you eat the meat of the big lobster." The elf waiter smiled and pointed to the machine on the side: "You need to put the meat on it and hammer it with a mechanical hammer at least twenty times before it can be safely removed.

For food, didn’t we put the food manual there?”

After hearing this, the big cat Conseil picked up the food manual and read it. He put it down and looked at Marin with some confusion and confusion: "Your Highness, I see you put the whole piece into your mouth."

Marin nodded: "Yes."

"How could you be okay?" The big cat didn't seem to understand yet.

You idiot big cat, that's why I am your highness and you are an idiot.

Marin sighed and opened his mouth. The shark's fangs in his mouth were shining brightly under the light. Then the shark's fangs turned into human teeth. Then Marin closed his mouth: "If your teeth

If you can do this, you can chew them."

The big cat was silent for a while, then looked at the poor Marin and pointed at his teeth: "Can you heal my teeth?"

"No problem." Marin raised his hand, and the broken tooth root in Conseil's gum was directly pushed out by the new tooth - now this small operation is just a blink of an eye for Marin.

After seeing off the lost big cat, Marin came to the barbecue area. He was a little curious about the lobster. The waiter was also very nice. He pointed out the window: "Your Highness, look over there, we are

Lobster caught from the river.”

Marin was a little sluggish - what, you caught it from the nearby river?

Standing in front of the window, Marin looked at the big lobster hung by the elf on the shelf... It was almost as big as a Beetle, and its carapace reflected the metallic light in the moonlight.

Please, friend, do you know what is happening in North American rivers - every gram of silt in the river contains various heavy metals that have been discharged disorderly in North America since the industrial era!

Thinking of this, Marin looked inside his stomach and found that there were no heavy metals in the meat.

So I turned to look at the barbecues and found that there was nothing wrong with the meat.

"Waiter, I have a question. The carapace of these large lobsters looks very strong." Marin decided to find the answer himself.

"Your Highness, you really have a good eye. Yes, the shells of these lobsters are very hard, but they have no resistance to mind control spells at all. As long as they have a little illusion ability, they can fall into a trap." The waiter ordered.

nodded.

Marin thought for a moment - these lobsters seem to be able to turn the heavy metals they eat into components of their shells. It's interesting. Maybe they are the product of genetic engineering.

But anyway, since there was no problem with the meat, Marin hammered a few pieces of meat and took them to share with Maya.

Maya also expressed her joy at Marin's arrival - she was surrounded by her peers and upper-class students chatting for a long time, and was already at a loss for words. Marin's arrival solved her suffering and brought her...

Gourmet food.

Marin also felt happy feeding the cats. The way his little leopard girl happily ate meat reminded Marin of the time when he was feeding young Maya a long time ago in the second-floor apartment of Carter Castle.

Maya also seemed to feel the smile on Marin's face. She stretched out her hand and wiped away the corners of Marin's eyes: "There is something dirty."

The little leopard in front of him smiled, and in Marin's eyes, Maya was changing every moment. Sometimes, she was the young Maya; sometimes, she was the current Maya; and sometimes, Maya was old.

, she sat there hunched over, chewing the meat in her mouth, smiling happily.

Marin sighed in his heart, because he found that fate did not leave him much time. For the gods, time is not a long river that never returns, but a journey that can be turned around at will. Marin has now begun to have some

Can't control his power anymore.

Maybe one day soon, Marin will become a real god, and that day seems not far away from Marin.

No, this is not the path Marin wants. Becoming a ruthless god is the same as death in Marin's eyes, and such eternity is not what Marin wants.

I must do something, I must save this world.

Marin warned himself once again in his heart, as a human being, he must not forget his oath. I am not trying to become a hero, but to save my lover and children. The innocent people in this world, and those in Marin's eyes.

Extras...are just extra gifts.

"Marin, what's wrong with you?"

Maya's call from the present day made Marin wake up. He smiled, stretched out his hand to wipe the minced meat from the corner of the old woman's mouth in front of him, and then lowered his head with a smile.
